I've been unable to run AbiWord under 1.5.1b1 with XFree86 4.0.3.  The 
problem is concerned with adding to the font path.  Here is an extract 
of the failing command from the AbiWord shell script (though it 
discards the output from xset).  Any idea what the problem is with xset?


138$ xset fp+ $ABISUITE_FONT_HOME
X Error of failed request:  86
  Major opcode of failed request:  51 (X_SetFontPath)
  Serial number of failed request:  9
  Current serial number in output stream:  11
b139$ whence xset
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset
b140$ ls $ABISUITE_FONT_HOME
